There was no need to start another thread on this but, hell, it seems these days everyone is doin it....Anyway, if volume+ and eq doesn.t work for you, atm you can.t do very much about it, you can either ask for another unit ( i agree the volume is low on sensation, compared to others, but frankly i did manage to get good results with volume+ and eq...) or wait until there will be an unlocked bootloader so that the custom roms can fix this issue (if they can, that is)
hmmm...well atm i think i just wait for the unlocked bootloader as promise by htc to come over.thanx bro...your words make me feel a lil bit release..lol
Volume+ 1.7.3 lets you set it even louder. +10 volume +5 bass and put sound on Good Quality. Makes it louder than my evo. Leave off VR stuff and other, also dont run the separate equalize app it makes the sound lower.

Thanks for that, I couldnt work out for the life of me whats was wrong, I could not get the volume to boost no matter what I tried, I just realised that the Speaker Modifications was enabled and one of the sliders was off default..
Now I got louder ringtones, so thanks for pointing that out..

1.7.3 or 1.37? The volume + im seeing in the market is at 1.37. Who's the dev?
Also i see an eq recommended in this thread, what is the name and developer (or link )

Volume + sound boost ( search ,,volume sound boost,, and there should be an icon with a black volume dial ) and the version is 1.7.3 100%
Equalizer ( as it says )
Volume + has some issues with incoming calls, when it Force Closes and it is quite annoying because you have to press the popup dialog before answering the phone. The developers says it is fixed since 1.7.2 but i still get the error sometimes...
Equalizer on the other hand works for me ( i-ve made a custom profile with all the levels at maximum)

VR gave me louder music but it seemed to lower notifications and ringer a bit. Maybe its just me lol
I purchased the app but I only got 1.7.2, don't see anyway to update it. I also didn't see any difference also, but that may be because I don't have the most updated version. ANY help, advice, direction would be great thanks...BTW I'm on T-Mobile Sensation.
thanks very helpful
I just want to add my 2 cents. The volume suck big time. I'm going to wait until they unlock the bootloader. I sure hope that is issues gets some attention from the gents here at XDA devlopers. Thats my 2 cents

I'd like to know and share with others what experiences everyones had listening to music on their g2x.. what rom , kernal, apps headphones. etc.. I'm currently running fits' latest kang and just use the dsp manager and earbuds that came with my wife's sgs4g ... The sound is great... Anyone else?
Dude...the way to go is CM7 with faux's kernal and Voodoo. I also run Power Amp for my music app. Btw... I'm using Beats by Dre for headphones. The sound is amazing...get voodoo for sure. You'll love it.

Haven't checked voodoo out yet.. been meaning too. Thanks
Apparently we cant just yet (or so I read in another thread)...when you got to install you get an incompatible device error. The thread mentioned something about the dev updating it for our P999's
Those who are using voodoo ... did you have an apk of it previously?

Uhh I have news for you, those headphones are horrible compared to the competition at the price point. The only thing they do have is that they are a great looking set of headphones.

Are miles better for around the price of the Beats Solo.

Watch out bro there are some true beat lovers here....lol
Fauxs kernel works with fits build it is based off cm with some cherry picks that's all, and voodoo works fine.....u flash the kernel then grab voodoo control plus u do NOT have to do anything inside the app voodoo automatically loads up u are ready to use it no need to load module. Although it does say kernel or device not supported it still works well for me atleast . I think faux needs to update the voodoo drivers. But your good man I love music on the g2x with voodoo awesome sound.... I'm running fits latest voodoo, faux 0.4.2 and some Sony headphones I had laying around sounds great
I like to think of Beats by Dr. Dre as a cooler version of Bose Headphones. Great, but crazy overpriced. On a side note, the phone works great for most times listening during the day, but there's far too much noise at the lowest volume levels for it to be really amazing. That doesn't really matter much when I listen to dubstep or black keys, but throw on some fleet foxes or mumford & sons and it's a little annoying.

So you have to use Voodoo Control PLUS? The free ver is the one that gives the incompatibility error.
Anyone know what DAC the G2X is using? Did a quick search but didn't turn anything up. I'll keep looking.
Weapon g2x, faux kernel w/voodoo, Power Amp, Panasonic hje-900 or my custom triple fi-10.
I have yet to uplaod my music collection to Google music. Anyone using Amazon music service? Thinking about going that route because I can actually purchase new music if needed.

Nope, I've had everything from Sony, Bose, Shure, to sennheiser and I am for sure Beats all the way. They are pricey and I'm the first to look for deals but Beats By Dre (HD) are definitely well worth the price. I got mine a few months ago and I definitely think they sound better than anything else out there.

+1. Totally agree with you on this one bro...I've tried the HD5's, Sony V900HD, and the Beats by Dre...Sorry to say but the bass coming from the Beats sounded like butt compared to the HD5's...
Please, what audio parameter on the headphone out changes when the kernel or ROM is changed?
Thanx.

I use Amazon Cloud for stuff stored on the Web and Uber Music for stuff I side load. Both work well, but the Amazon player just looks stupid. Uber Music has a great UI, imho, and has a nice feature where when you choose an album to play, it will offer a page of band info, etc., of the sort you might see on Allmusic.com or some such.

Nah man I'm still here, just been super busy with college at night construction in the day and wife and 3. Kids lol g2x is better then that crapsation and not sure if the free one works or not but I have voodoo control plus version 3.0 and it works fine
To the person that asked what rom/kernal I was using I believe it was either fauxs rom and kernal that is included with it or fitsnuglys rom and fauxs 4.1 stick voltage kernal.. either one are great...
Oh and for those that like poweramp I suggest player pro it is just as good IMO and its equalizer is very nice in combination with dsp manager and voodoo u have to grab the separate equalizer that goes with it in the market its called dsp pack

Those headphones have a 3M cable...
I know we won't get voodoo sound on the SR due to the yamaha chipset that's used, but is there anything out there to increase the sound quality and volume that actually works well? Or is it a lost cause?
I haven't used it, but a lot of people have said that Poweramp helps a lot (free trial available on the Play Store with a paid app also available).
DSP Manager is another option, but it doesn't work with every rom. You might want to try this out first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21013174#post21013174
The sound will never be top notch, but you can make it a little better. Please post back if you find another workable way to improve sound quality.

Those two music players look interesting. I'll have to give them a try. I'm currently using Volume+ and it seems to be doing a pretty good job also.
I love the Voodoo headphone amp as it boosts the headphone output to a decent level, but installing voodoo sounds has its problems on ICS with calls, etc and all the know bugs. Is there a headphone amp app or widget or something? Best I've found is to make a preset EQ with everything boosted but this affects sound more than Supercurio's work on the Wolfman chip and enabling the headphone boosts.
Jetaudio is the player I've been using on my other phone. Get it from play store. Once you have it go to EQ and look at the top. There is a built in preamp. Slide the bar to 10 and watch your ears bleed. It is by far the best free player that I've used.

Actually thank eollie. I'm pretty sure he's the one that let me know about it. Well it was either him or Lumin. Hard to tell the other members of TFTN apart anymore. lol
I'll give Jet a try myself.
Not to hijack, if anyone knows of dev info on compiling new codecs for Android, would you PM me? The lack of Apple lossless keeps me from using my phone for music.
Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development

Can you really tell the difference between lossless and compressed? I've tried with some really good earbuds and it's super hard for me to tell. Try talking some albums that you know really well and converting them to mp3 at 224. If you can tell the difference from the phone I'd be amazed.

Yeah, I use Grado cans and anything below 512 kbps is like nails on a chalkboard to me. My library is all Apple lossless at this point and transcoding on the fly is a complexity I'd rather not deal with.
Edit -- Switching to IEMs has made anything compressed even at 512 kbps rather painful. As full-rate Apple Lossless or Flac is typically around 800-1000 kbps, at least for me, there isn't any meaningful gain for the pain.
jetAudio does support Apple Lossless now, and doesn't have the gaps between tracks that used to plague older Android players. It's got it's own usability issues, but it does a decent job.
Now if I can figure out why Voodoo Sound occasionally stops working for me to control amp gain so I can keep the digital gain maxed out.

Since I stopped using my 4g as a phone and just use it as a music player voodoo sounds has worked all the time every time. I think receiving phone calls might be what is causing it to stop working. I few others have reported the same. Something to take a look at at least. If your using jet it has it's own built in pre amp that works well.
I think that maxed out issue you are talking about is a setting in voodoo app causes the db keep going up

I seem to be finding that either placing or receiving a call "disconnects" Voodoo Sound from the analog gain.
The preamp control in jetAudio is a little different -- Voodoo has the benefit of keeping the digital gain as high as possible and just using the audio gain, which should improve sound quality by keeping digitization noise lower.
I have logs for that i go on wheresmycellphone.com and call my phone run logocat right before the call. No one has provided logs yet ? There seems to be dual speaker mode thats changed and an audio route problem. Do u want me to up logs. Does voodoo work on any of ics roms with just dsp manager and how do u tell if it is working really. I think the tv out driver plays a slight role as well there is bluetooth sharing enabled during call when headset not being used or anything.

I bet you still listen to vinyl don't you. LOL I see your point for sure but on my earbuds I can't tell the difference. As long as it's loud and clear and loud it's good enough for me.

Im on viper with elemental kernel.
Absolutely love the rom and kernel combo, but looking for a mod or something that will just make the music through headphones louder.
When I run I can definately hear it, but its just not very loud. I think its normal and same volume as stock, but is there anything I can apply that will make it louder?
And I mean across the board, stock music player, pandora (or any internet streaming player, just louder across the board with headphones.
thanks
You can try the Volume+ app. Paid app on the market, but I think the app is still free on the dev's website (but you have to signup for his forum now to download it):
http://androidaudiohacks.com/?page_id=16
I haven't tried it on the One X. This phone has always had decent volume for me. But I've used it on my old Desire Z. The difference is not huge, but helps a bit.

Do you have to load the app every time for it to apply? Or does it write to boot?
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
Its supposed to load on boot. It has different customizable levels and EQ for speaker, bluetooth, and wired headphones. Actually pretty similar to DSP (and I believe based on it) but different interface, and its an easily installed (and unistalled) app instead of having to be flashed or cooked into the ROM.
I did have some instances of it not always starting by itself. But its been a long time, and updated a bunch since I used it on my old phone. So this may have been fixed.
